Taking a Ride on the Asian Carp Superhighway

Perhaps we should put in a big old fence across the canals in Chicago. And then we could electrify it.

I do not mean to minimize this. I love the Great Lakes. They are the country's real heart. And these are, as Captain Quint says in Jaws, "Baaaad fish!" They are doing real damage. And nobody deserves to decide a fish-based case more than Scalia and Thomas do. But I couldn't resist posting this story just for the Michigan AG's quote:

"We need to close the Asian carp superhighway and do it now."

The Asian carp superhighway.

Please don't let Michele Bachmann see this story. She'll think it's a street gang and want to send the Army.
